1. The format for the varying FamilySearch Catalog entry templates is found below: US/CAN Wikicode Templates

2. The most difficult part of this process is locating the item number required in the template. This is found in the URL (web address) of the source being referenced. The example following is a URL for Kankakee County, Illinois probate records. Note that at the end of the URL is the word “ item” followed by a percent sign, a number and a letter. The item number follows the letter “F” as highlighted below. Hint: The easiest way to capture that number is to place your cursor on top of the number, double click on top of the number and it will automatically highlight so that you can easily copy and paste. Sometimes it picks up the letter as well, so the letter will need to be deleted when pasted into the template. https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/show?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcatalog-search-api%3A8080%2Fwww-catalogapi-webservice%2Fitem%2F1016348

4. You may also wish to have a FamilySearch Catalog place search template which will direct the researcher to the records available for a place. For example, you may wish to direct the researcher the town of Albion in the county of Peel in Ontario (Canada). To create this template, you simply add the words of the place after FHL| as the following example: {{FHL|Ontario, Peel, Albion|place}}Be sure to put the place names in the order they appear in the catalog such as: State, County, Town or Province, County, Town (Illinois, Kankakee, Momence or Ontario, Peel, Albion).
